Idea850 n.1, German Baltic Sea

The boat was built by Viktor with a single-handed offshore sailing program in mind. It features few modifications to the standard plans, including a watertight companionway, an enclosed stern, and a small doghouse.  
It will be launched and rigged in the coming weeks, and a tuning phase will begin on all the equipment and the completion of some details. The idea is to take a short trip to the islands between Scotland and the Arctic this summer, to begin with, then we'll see.  

 
The boat's interior feels more like an old Land Rover than a modern SUV; it's not super-refined by our standards, but it's efficient, very solid, and quite basic, with plenty of space for a boat under nine meters. The aft berths, in particular, are truly enormous. 

The builder has opted not to install the inboard engine planned and will rely on a small outboard to enter and exit the mooring.

Unfortunately, it's not in the water because the ice melted a few days ago. It will be launched in two weeks. Photos of the boat with its masts will be available in a couple of weeks!
